Tyrone Powers: The Last Idol

Fred Lawrence Guiles Hollywood Collection

By: Fred Lawrence Guiles

Narrated by: Johnny Heller

Tyrone Power was as versatile in life as he was on the screen. He was a multifaceted man and was the last idol created by the vast star-making machine 20th Century Fox.

Coming from a family of multi-generational actors, Tyrone Power broke the proverbial mold. His on-screen charisma in the 30s and 40s propelled him to the forefront of must-have actors. His on-screen accomplishments were many, yet he did not hesitate to enter the military when his country went to war.

After the war, he continued in his career, but the years took their toll. This look into the actor's life by one of the most renowned Hollywood biographers of all time is a must-have for everyone interested in film, old Hollywood, or acting.

Powerful & Memorable

I didn't know too much about Tyrone Power before listening to this audiobook. I was very impressed with the narrator. The story was very well written – detailed but not overly dense. It covered, equally well, Tyrone's career, his personal relationships and his beautiful correspondences. A wonderful tribute!

it passed the time.

Was not fond of the reader. It was almost as if they sped up his reading .
